Baby Dedication

It’s exciting whenever a new child enters a family. It is a wonderful act of worship when parents understand that children are a gift from God and dedicate them back to Him. At the Life Center, we follow the biblical model of baby dedication (Luke 2:22) as opposed to baby baptism.

Dedicating a child acknowledges God’s sovereignty not only over the child, but also the mother and father. Parents present their child before God and His people asking for grace and wisdom in carrying out their responsibilities. Parents also come praying that their child might one day grow to love and trust Jesus Christ as their Savior and live under His lordship.

We also request the involvement of both parents in the dedication process regardless of marital status.
